The String Cheese Incident Offers Frozen Cheese and Two Additional Live Compilations

With String Cheese Incident’s Winter Carnival set to take place next week, SCI Fidelity Records has released three live compilations from the group. Frozen Cheese draws together material from 1999 through 2003. The band’s archivist Larry Fox explains, “First off, a fabulous version of ‘Little Hands’ from 1999 at the Boulder Theatre with special guest Jerry Douglas on dobro. This is followed by the first Cheese performance of ‘Birdland’, again with Jerry Douglas on dobro. Next up,‘The Chicken’ from 2/21/2000 with special guests George Porter Jr and Art Neville from the ‘Funky Meters’. This is followed by a pair of tunes from the 2002 Fillmore Winter Carnival which was part of the filming of ‘Waiting For The Snow To Fall’... Black Clouds and Ten Miles To Tulsa. Disc Two is composed of the 3/18/03 Vail Incident’s set one closing jam of Emma’s Dream, Orion’s Belt, Under African Skies, and Restless Wind. Those of you who remember that show, will remember that this was the ‘blizzard of the century show’. We never released that particular show as an ‘On The Road’ release, and this compilation represents the first time this material has been made available.”

Cheese in the Trees is a collection of songs from Horning’s Hideout over the years, which originally was given to ticket-buyers for last year’s Horning’s event. It offers both acoustic and electric performances and guest appearances by Scott Law, Xavier Rudd and STS9. Cheese On The Rocks was offered to those who attended the group’s Red Rocks run in 2010 and includes music from 2000 through 2007, including a version of “Birdland” from 9/5/03 with John Medeski. All three of these compilations an be purchased at Livecheese.com.
